So you are a "statist", "good little jack-booted drug warrior", on other drugs, just not pot?

A point that is lost on these people. What they don't understand with their myopic focus on pot, is that their arguments for legalizing it apply to all other drugs as well.

Another point lost on them is that people start with pot, and some eventually transfer to stronger drugs. The place to break the chain of addiction is before it gets started.

I would agree. And I would point out the parallel to homosexual marriage. If you break the tradition of marriage meaning 1 man and 1 woman, then there is no fallback. It's not just "homosexual marriage". Now there is no grounds for opposing polygamy, or incest, really. It's anything goes, because we've apparently decided that the government can't regulate the basic topic.

Once the government decides to making a recreational drug legal, then it's just harder to justify why we have laws against meth.

Tobacco is the window drug to alcohol and alcohol is the window drug to ALL of the other drugs in use by society, especially and in particular prescription drugs- which you so conveniently fail to discuss or reference. Special note to children being prescribed pharmaceuticals for every imaginable ailment known and unknown.

I have nothing further to say to you for waste of oxygen is certain. In fairness, and expectation, a response by you is anticipated. Please save your time and Jim Thompson's bandwith by refraining from your usual infantile postings of images of psychotic killers under the guise of marijuana induced behaviors. The rest of us posting here can find correlating links to psychotic killers under the influence of prescription drugs and widespread use of alcohol. YOU have the myopic view on pot.

Another point lost on them is that people start with pot...

Usually after experimenting with tobacco and alcohol.
